SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING!! Read all safety war-
nings and all instructions. Failure
to follow all instructions listed below
may result in electric shock, fi re
and/or serious personal injury.
Save all warnings and instruc-
tions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warn-
ings refers to your mains-operated
(corded) power tool or battery-op-
erated (cordless) power tool.
1) WORK AREA SAFETY
a) Keep your work area clean
and well lit. Cluttered benches
and dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools
in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of
fl ammable liquids, gases, or
dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
c) Keep bystanders, children,
and visitors away while op-
erating a power tool. Distrac-
tions can cause you to lose
control.
2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a) Power tool plugs must match
the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not
use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodifi ed plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk
of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with
grounded surfaces such
as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock
if your body is grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to
rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a power tool will in-
crease the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Nev-
er use the cord for carrying,
pulling or unplugging the
power tool. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the
risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool
outdoors, use an extension
cord suitable for outdoor
use. Use of a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
f)
If operating a power tool in a
damp location is unavoida-
ble, use a ground fault circuit
interrupter protected supply.
Use of a ground fault circuit
interrupter reduces the risk of
electric shock.
3) PERSONAL SAFETY
a) Stay alert, watch what you
are doing and use common
sense when operating a pow-
er tool. Do not use a power
tool while you are tired or
under the infl uence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A mo-
ment of inattention while oper-
ating power tools may result in
